Methods: The impact of the following 12 serum iron metabolism parameters on the outcome of AL/HCT patients was analyzed: iron, transferrin (Tf), total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), ferritin, ferritin heavy chains (FTH1), ferritin light chains (FTL), hepcidin, soluble hemojuvelin (sHJV), soluble ferroportin-1 (sFPN1), erythroferrone (ERFE), erythropoietin (EPO), and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR). Here, FTH1 is linked to axial length measurement.
